Braxton hicks or more????

I woke up this morning with some serious cramping going on, and I hope this doesn't gross anybody out. I had diarrhea, but the cramping has continued sporadically. It's not a constant coming and going, and I haven't used the bathroom since, although I sometimes feel like I need to go or throw up. I'm 24 weeks pregnant, so it's way to soon to be going into labor. And the cramps don't seem to be close enough or consistant enough either, to be labor pains. Can braxton hicks carry on for several hours and be about as severe as the actual labor cramps? I delivered my 8 month old last march, so i can't really remember exactly what the real thing was like. Have any suggestions or experiences that you can relate with mine? I'm starting to worry that something's not quite right, and I really wish the cramping would just stop.

I remember I had a lot more braxton hicks with my second pregnancy. They lasted longer and were stronger...I was like...this is it! It's funny how you forget. I think I remember them telling me that as long as it's not in a pattern than there's nothing to worry about. When you say several hours, is it a wave of different pains, or is it the exact pain for several hours? They can be as strong as labor pains...that's why they call it "false labor." It could also mean that your delivery will be fast since your body is prepping so much now. Did you deliver early or late with your previous baby?

I love my thing one and my thing two.I believe that children who get dirty tend tobe healthier. Becoming a mother has made me into the woman I have always wanted to be.

Yeah, With both my Pregnancys I had them, The second way worse, I had them so bad that everytime I went into the doctors for a check up and they put the kick count machine around my belly, my contractions (braxton hicks ) would always shoot off the chart, I WOULD ALWAYS HAVE TO BE CHECK TO SEE IF I DIALATED ANY) NO DIALATION AT ALL EVEN A WEEK PAST MY DUE DATE! LOL The doctors freaked out everytime, But I knew they were Normal for me.

The doctors tried putting me on bedrest, I STILL GOT THEM EVEN WHILE I SLEPT!! LOL They would sometimes hurt really bad and some unnoticeable.

I would start to feel them when I was around 22 weeks pregnant. I think I Only felt them this early becasue im really intune with my body.

The best of luck to you and your little one!
